Hey Leslie! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and thankyou thankyou thankyou for the sweet banner you made me! I am html challenged and i didn't want to ask my IT guy husband to design anything for my decorating blog. lol. I put the banner up as soon as I read your email and I love it so much more than what was there. So great to meet a fellow sister in Christ! Oh and these slipcovers are FABULOUS...I am almost finished reupholstering my ugly green chair (from my blog) and as soon as its done I'm gonna make some white cotton duck slipcovers for it so it'll stay nice. I'd love some pointers if your up to it! Talk to you soon!!

Kelsey,I am HTML challenged and also have an IT guy for a husband. I never asked Mark to help me, I just watched him work on Photoshop and learned that way, LOL! Ah, would love to help you with pointers on the covers if you need them. I wish I'd taken pictures of the making of these slipcovers, but I didn't know I'd be sharing them with the world someday :)See you 'round!

@ Cheryl- thank you! They were a lot of work, but so worth it!@ Elizabeth- you are a slipcover queen.@ Stacey- the fabric gave a little, but not enough to stretch out of shape. The biggest issue I remember is the fraying of the material. I do recall zig-zagging the inside edges TWICE.I think a twin comforter would be plenty to cover two dining chairs ;)

Funny! Great minds think alike - - I am currently working on the same exact project using the same exact fabric!!! Your chairs turned out great!! Thanks for sharing! By the way -- people have noticed that my header is fixed ;) thanks so much!!

Hi~Sonny, Welcome to my home!I will be sharing more slipcovered things soon!Amy, I can't wait to see your chair(s)! You are so welcome for the header, thank you for the tutorials! I think I am about to add a tagline to my blog...Tonia,I am glad you can't see very well.Kolein,$19.96!!! What! Go back and get the chair!I am going to go look at your new slip covers- and you work on letting your family sit on the cover :)I love to write if you love to read...Blessings, girls!

You did a beautiful job!!! I also did a wingback chair w/ a matelasse cover!! Except mine is cream...You'll have to come take a look. http://tickingandtoile.blogspot.com/2009/11/wingback-slipcover-done.html

You made those? I wish I knew you, I need one made for one of my chairs, it is similar to yours. I am scared that I will ruin the fabric if I try. Yours look fabulous!!! I love the whole room, you have done red right. I have seen many red rooms, they don't look like yours. Great post, thanks for the look into your home! Hugs, Cindy S

Beautiful chairs! I'm so glad I found your blog, I've been in 'AWE' with Shellagh's slipcovers and bought both 'how-to' books she used, (I'm waiting for summer and time off work)and confidence...:)I just found a beautiful matelasse twin spread at a thrift store for 6.99 and now I know it can be used for a slipcover!!! YAY! Debbie @ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs

Great slipcovers! I wish I was a little better at sewing to attempt to make some! I love yours...and that you used a vintage bedspread...I really like those old matelasse spreads too! I recently acquired two wingback chairs that someone gave us for free. They are upholstered in a baby blue velvet which isn't horrible, but I eventually I would like to re-upholster them or at least have slipcovers in something else!

I've had a friend stitch up similar slipcovers. I didn't even think of looking for vintage (kind of wish I had now that I see yours) and I bought mine from JCPenneys. Pretty, but not as full of character as yours. I really like the textures yours have. Love your curtains too!

I did this very thing to my wing chairs, but I did them when I had a 4 month old and was in a super hurry. I'm about to make some new covers with a bit more attention to detail. Anyway, these look beautiful and I love them with the red curtains.

Love these, Leslie! I had a chair and a sofa that were nearly identical to yours (once upon a time when I lived in the U.S.). Anyway, the chair had gotten really dirty, but the couch was in great condition. Wish I'd have known how to do slip covers back then. My chair and sofa went to a family that lost everything in Katrina. So that part makes me happy to think on. :)

OMGoodness! Perfect idea for my wingback chair that I have in our livingroom. I have wanted it slipcovered for a while now. It was a $79 find at the antique shop down the road. I have a buttercream matelasse queen spread that I bought many moon ago and would love to repurpose it. Perfect I say *wink. Thanks!
